This is an older, much used place to stay so stay only if you have to.
Pros:

Location is excellent----right off US 285. I thought the staff was ok---not overly welcoming, but pleasant and answered my questions.

Cons:

There were two ice machines, but neither worked. There was coffee, but it was cold as tap water out of the faucet. Breakfast was presented, but eggs were cold and almost tasteless. This facility needs a serious upgrade.

Fine and dandy
Pros:

The location could not have been better. Super easy to find (very important after hours on the road) very close in to where we ate, etc.

Staff were super nice.

We took advantage of the continental breakfast. No complaints, and the coffee was surprisingly excellent. And the brekfast (and the coffee!) got us through a really tough six mile hike that morning.

Cons:

A little thing. I would have much appreciated a glass, instead of a paper cup, for my evening bourbon on the rocks. I know that seems like a small thing, but it does add a touch of class and a taste of home that a weary traveler really appreciates.

Alisha/Alicia at reception was great
Pros:

Great and friendly customer service from Alisha/Alicia at reception.
She told me about hiking trails in the neighborhood (Beaver Creek Trail,
and trails off Hoosier Pass), told me where to buy hiking supplies
(Al-Mart in Alma :-) ), and was of great support to my plan to
hike up Mt. Sherman.

A very comfortable stay walking distance from dining and shopping opportunities.
Pros:

The desk clerk was very helpful in increasing the coolness of our refrigerator and in continuing to ask us if we needed anything else to make our stay comfortable. She also provided us with interesting information about the town and options for walking along the river.

Cons:

A light by the table would have been nice. Everything else was wonderful.

Blah inn needs upgrades
Pros:

Price was okay. Breakfast needed at last some fresh fruit and bagels. Shower had mold. All our electronics were recharged on the floor due to them not having usb lamps.
